Skilled Indepedent Visa[Subclass 189]

The skilled independent visa is a points-based permanent residency visa for skilled workers who want to reside and work permanently in Australia. These workers don’t have any employer, family member, or state Government in Australia backing them. It allows qualified workers to live and work anywhere in Australia. To be eligible, applicants must have an occupation listed on Australia’s skilled occupation list and meet requirements related to age, skills, proficiency and points score. Once accepted, visa holders can live, work and study anywhere in Australia. They can even endorse any eligible relatives for permanent residency. This visa is best for highly trained and skilled workers who don’t have sponsorship from Australia. This is a point test permanent visa.

There are some eligibility criteria, which include:

1. Invitation to Apply

The applicant must submit an expression of interest through the Expression of Interest (EOI) virtually and be invited by the Australian government to apply for a visa.

2. Occupation

Your occupation must be listed on the skilled occupation list

3. Point test

You must obtain at least 65 points on the points test, which includes:

• Age
• English language ability
• Skilled employment experience
• Educational qualifications
• Australian study or work experience

4 . Skill Assessment

Your skills and qualifications must meet Australian standards, as you have to give a positive skill assessment from an approved assessing authority.

5.No outstanding debts

You must not owe any money to the Australian Government, or you must have arranged to repay it.

Benefits of a skilled independent visa include:

• This type of visa has opened the doors for skilled workers to reside and work permanently in Australia after receiving an invitation to apply. There is no need for employer or state sponsorship.
• Once you get subclass 189, you will become a permanent resident of Australia. You don’t need state or employer sponsorship.
• You can opt to live, work or study in any city or region of Australia without any restrictions.
• As a permanent resident of Australia, you can avail yourself of the benefits of the public health care system and education in Australia.
